• Click on the icons for more precise details of job cuts and closures.

The numbers on the map above are drawn from stories of closures and job cuts reported in 2009 on MediaGuardian.co.uk. We've tried to be as detailed about the cuts as possible, but when groups announced cuts across several titles or international cuts, it was often not possible to break down the cuts across the titles or regions.

When regional publishers closed newspapers, we used the location of where the newspaper was distributed rather than where it was published – regional publishers often publish several titles from a central regional location. We wanted to reflect the communities affected by the loss of a newspaper rather than the corporate structure of the publisher.

If you have any other information about job cuts or closures that we haven't included or details about the job cuts we have listed, please email us.
